Blueberry Futures Review 2026 — Broker-Backed Futures Prop Firm, Rules & Payouts | PropTradingArea

BlueBerry Futures

2.8 (62 reviews) Futures Trust: 2.9/5 Updated

Blueberry Futures is the futures arm of the Blueberry group — broker-backed, which sounds reassuring until you read the graduation requirements. Two evaluation paths, four account sizes, and a funded journey that ends when you've completed 7 payout cycles or withdrawn $28,000. Not when you pass the challenge. When they say so.

About BlueBerry Futures

In practice, the product is new enough that the community feedback is still thin. Five Trustpilot reviews, 80% of which are one-star, is not a track record. It's a data point worth noting.

The evaluation structure is straightforward — two paths, four account sizes, 90% profit split, no activation fee. The rules are what you'd expect from a serious futures firm: no VPN, no HFT, no bracketing data releases, and a hard cap of 200 trades per day.

The part most traders don't read before buying: passing the evaluation is not the finish line. Graduation requires either 7 payout cycles or $28,000 in total withdrawals from a single account. That's a meaningful commitment that doesn't appear prominently on the challenge pages.

If the execution quality lives up to the broker backing and the product matures — Blueberry Futures could be worth a serious look. Right now, it's worth a careful one.

Trader Tip

Graduation is the goal, not just passing the evaluation — 7 payout cycles or $28,000 total withdrawals from a single account is what unlocks full capital access. VPN means immediate account closure and profit forfeiture with no exceptions — plan ahead if you travel. Ascent (EOD) is more forgiving if you build slowly, Accelerated (Trailing) gets you funded faster but the floor tightens as you profit.

does the job

Switched over when my old firm changed their drawdown rules overnight. the profit target felt fair but the minimum trading days dragged it out. the platform is reliable, i just wish they offered more than one option. the mobile app logs me out every other day which gets old fast. support was helpful once i got through, getting through was the hard part. i had no payout issues but i kept screenshots of everything just in case. earned a cautious thumbs up from a guy who trusts no one.

reliable enough

Switched over when my old firm raised their fees. teh app notifications are useful but they fire late sometimes. spreads are okay and stable, nothing exciting but nothing alarming either. platform works but it doesnt save my chart layouts between sessions. bro consistency rule almost got me once because i did not read the fine print, my bad not theirs. scaling plan exists but you grind a long time before the first bump. I don't see the point of some of the rules, man.

fine for beginners not pros

Not gonna lie i went in expecting the worst. fees are mid range … not the cheapest and not the worst. the dashboard looks clean but half the stats i actually want arent on it. support eventually answered but it took three follow ups to get a real human. kyc took four days and two resubmissions which is longer than anywhere else i used. my first payout was smooth … the second one needed a support ticket to shake loose.

read the terms, then run

only tried them because a friend got a referral bonus. the terms let them void profits basically whenever they feel like it. they changed the rules mid challenge and applied them retroactively. customer service hours are basically never when you actually need them. they keep shifting the profit target up each time i get close. can you guys get in contact with this firm if I provide an acc number? their customer support hasn't replied in 3 days. commissions quietly doubled between my first and second account. the refund they promised on funding never showed up on any statement. never again, and i say that as someone with a high tolerance for prop firm nonsense.

one more payout decides it

Bought in after they ran a promo i couldn't ignore. suport solved my issue in teh end but the first two answers were copy paste. the scaling plan looks generous until you read the conditions attached. fees for resetting the challenge are steep if you fail late. bro payout processing is fine but you have to hit a minimum balance first. the trading conditions are okay, just dont expect raw spreads at this price.

some wins some headaches

Picked this firm because they supported my exact strategy. their discord support is quicker than email which kind of tells you where the priority is. the eval gave me plenty of time … the funded phase felt rushed by comparison. the rules pdf is thorough but it really needs a summary at the top. email notifications can lag a bit which is mildly annoying but not a dealbreaker. the rule against hedging across accounts makes sense but it isnt obvious at signup. i am not leaving yet but i am also not buying a second account.

hard pass on this one

picked these guys mostly because of the discount code floating around. my emails to compliance bounce back like the inbox doesn't exist. they're holding my withdrawal hostage until i sign a new agreement i never agreed to. they changed the payout split from 90 to 80 and called it an update. approval email said funded then a second email took it back hours later. my second payout request is a month old and support keeps saying "escalated". burned me clean and did not even pretend to care.

happy customer here

Finally pulled the trigger after comparing like six firms on a spreadsheet. leverage is reasonable … not the reckless stuff that blows beginners up. support remembered my previous ticket and didnt make me re-explain the whole thing. they let me run my algo as long as it is not some latency arbitrage exploit. the mobile app stays synced with desktop so i can check positions on the go without lag.

worst firm i've used

tried them out after a refund nightmare with a competitor. teh spread on gold randomly tripled right as my stop got clipped. support's only answer is read the faq even when the faq says nothing about it. the trailing drawdown ate my profit while i was flat and out of the market. they denied my payout over a rule i cannot even find in their terms. tbh the drawdown is calculated in whatever way loses you the account … i swear. breach, ticket, silence, repeat … that is the whole customer journey.

great firm slow support

my first prop firm so i had no idea what to expect going in. fees crept up since i joined and teh retake discount quietly got smaller. i got funded fine but the scaling requirements are steeper than they look. my account got funded but the credentials email took a day to arrive. tbh withdrawals work but the minimum payout threshold is higher than i would like.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ascent and Accelerated?
Ascent uses EOD drawdown — the floor is measured at end of each trading session, giving more intraday flexibility. Accelerated uses trailing drawdown, requires only 1 minimum trading day, and costs less — but the floor moves as you profit. Both offer 90% profit split.
What does graduation mean at Blueberry Futures?
Passing the evaluation unlocks the funded stage, but full graduation requires either 7 payout cycles or $28,000 in total withdrawals from a single account. This is different from most prop firms where passing the challenge is the final step.
Can I use a VPN with Blueberry Futures?
No. VPN usage is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of all profits. This applies regardless of the reason, including travel. Plan your access method before you start.
Are Expert Advisors allowed?
Automated trading is permitted within limits. The maximum is 200 trades per day — strategies exceeding this threshold constitute prohibited HFT. EAs designed for high-frequency scalping or exploiting simulated environment conditions are not allowed.
Can I trade news events?
There is no explicit news trading ban. However, bracketing data releases — opening positions around news to exploit the lack of slippage in the simulated environment — is explicitly prohibited. Standard directional news trading is permitted.
What happens if I fail the evaluation?
You can purchase a reset to restart the evaluation. Reset costs vary by account size — $47.04 for $25K Ascent, $41.40 for $25K Accelerated. All fees are final and non-refundable regardless of outcome.
